As the Gaza-Israel war enters its third year, sparked by Hamas-led terror attacks on Israel, the UN is appealing for the release of all hostages, an immediate ceasefire and an aid surge to alleviate Palestinians’ suffering – all as talks on a US-driven peace plan continue in Egypt. “The pain is indescribable” on the anniversary of the “abhorrent” attacks, said UN relief chief Tom Fletcher. “I renew my call for the unconditional, immediate release of all the hostages – and until then, they must be treated humanely,” he continued. “Civilians everywhere have to be protected.”. Mr. Fletcher underscored the fact that since 7 October 2023, tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed and “hundreds of thousands endure starvation and displacement”.
